Simple Self Built Off Grid Log Cabin: FULL TOUR. Outhouse, Solar, Utilities

[@charlesvincett84]

This channel needs a two thumbs up button!!

[@briettasonlen1208]

I am an old woman who lives in a shoe. Okay, probably just a mom teaching my son manners. Kyle, grace every comment with a like!! on your behalf. I love your videos and have shared them.

[@cattleNhay]

A house is built with wood and beams…a home is built with love and dreams.

[@dansmith6508]

Absolutely fantastic Kyle ! Not only is the build amazing, but at a young age you have a piece of land and home of your own. You obviously appreciate peace and solitude and have a realization that you can be happy with less. That is something very very few understand. Great job young man, cheers !

[@fathertomoutdoors6579]

Martins old off grid cabin keeps a wooden toilet seat near the wood stove to take outside when you need to go.

[@adriannafosse2485]

I live in SE Alaska and I totally agree with you about the outhouse aspect! People get too hung up on simple things, but don’t seem to mind using the bathroom right next to where they prepare food! Crazy! The simple life is best, no matter what!

[@tinatimthompson3115]

I am of the same mindset. Never s*hit where you eat! Lol. I keep the door shut...it's not next to the kitchen, but it's close. Lol 😆 🤣 😂 Peace and blessings ❤️

[@jimstegall2589]

Kyle I just found you here on KZbin ! I have watched many of your videos over the past couple of days and find them Fascinating 👍 Great Job 👏🏼

[@deeanna5814]

The outhouse commentary😂 My Grandma told me she thought the same thing when Grandpa built the bathroom onto the house, she said she liked the tub for bathing the kids, but it took her awhile to adjust to having a toilet inside the house.

[@frankmisaege3520]

It's nice to see a young man who appreciates the great outdoors. You've carved out a nice home for yourself & your girlfriend. Good for you.

[@livingpositivelytoday]

Oh this should be helpful. I've been wanting to do this. I've been wanting to buy a piece of land myself but they only place I can afford would be isolated. Bear horns I don't know if I can handle. I can deal with no plumbing and electric as long as there's a wood stove. -25 I would be dead. I used to wash my dishes in cold water for a year when I camped with my 3-year old son. The moose are beautiful. I had candles in the tent to stay warm so I can see how the tarp would work.

[@todyoung3474]

Kyle, such a great example of the whole exceeding the sum of the parts. Your answers about why you do something the way you do may not satisfy everyone as the best possible solution for each challenge, but that's missing the point. You've got a strong internal compass pointing toward simple, fulfilling existence - you're never more than a step or two in attention from what feeds and shelters you - and a natural aversion to unnecessary complications most of us tolerate without question. Amen to open air outhouse v indoor bathroom! Thanks for sharing the how-to and why-to for creating healthy indoor/outdoor balance.

[@jimbrown4180]

Blessed to be removed from concrete jungle 🙏. Happy new year guys !!! .thanks again bro

[@chuckolson5825]

Another great job. The pup was in the house in short order, I get a charge out of him.

[@joannconfer1144]

You did a fantastic job on building this cabin. It’s everything you need. It is beautiful there. God bless you and your life….🙋🏻‍♀️🌻🦋

[@staceysmom175]

The food, beer, clothing, toiletries, bedding, pots, pans, dishware, fuel, etc, part is harder without a nearby grocery store, but I've discovered Kwik Trip, and told my husband, we need to 'invest in Kwik Trip'. When a tiny town has one (the ones with groceries, fuel, basics), you have everything you need. Ever seen one of those lake or woods areas with one near the highway? It's all that's nearby. They should put a supper club & bar upstairs. Impressive.

[@TheDudeVT]

Have you ever thought about hooking a little CB radio up to that car battery? You could throw a firestick antenna or a 108 inch steel whip antenna on the cabin. There just a good thing to have and fun to use. You definitely have a great set up! Very cool. Thanks for the video.

[@KeithandPamBilyeu]

Pam here… your ceiling could be a movie screen with a mini projector!

[@meelusine]

Nice little cabin of yours, it must be a very special feeling to stay there, far, far, away from the city where time never stops.

[@donnievinson9478]

You have made yourself a great little cabin. A great view and everything you need to live. I respect someone who makes their own life. Good job.

[@billiamc1969]

DEEP RESPECT from an urban beekeeper in Baltimore...your hard work is really inspiring and admirable. I would live there without a doubt...however your average American could NOT live in a cabin like that...

[@Slykkpkins]

Awesome Kyle, very self reliant. Silence is golden, thumbs up.

[@paddycaseygsxr]

Watching from the uk 🇬🇧 👍👍👍👍

[@KYLESCABIN]

Cheers!

[@ac2-rm141]

It's going great, and thank you for the video!

[@markholmes1346]

Love the way you live young man! I’m 58 and wish I would have lived this life a long time ago! Have arthritis real bad and !!are really struggling with everyday life! Not giving up by any means, still plan on living in the Michigan wilderness hopefully in the next couple years

[@chantaln6843]

Once again I enjoy the snow scene and enjoy watching your activities. 😊

[@happypheetphotographyBYWILEY]

Kyle - Pretty darn sweet set-up. Everything you need for a quiet, peaceful living experience. Thank you for the tour. Regards, Randy (Coyote Sticks) in Arizona.

[@TinyCabinLife]

Love your cabin and videos man! It’s super cool to see a fellow Minnesotan living the dream 🤙🏽

[@lawilder2059]

I love that no one can get to it!!! What an inspiration you are!!

[@davecolvin310]

Watching you is like a time capsule.my wife and I watch your channel.she says that's me 40 years ago .I used to do homesteading the same way without equipment just by hand I'm 58 now people say I look like I'm 30 all that hard work will keep you young on the outside but wears you out quicker on inside .I'm retired now and had to move to warmer climate.no back left elbow joints and hands wore out.3 neck surgery.all wear and tear it might not be a bad idea to utilize some equipment

[@newenglandcoast7121]

The cabin looks so beautiful with the snow! That is truly paradise!

[@jameslower7350]

I always love your videos man,me and my wife basically live the same kind of lifestyle in southeast kansas,we use city electric for now but we use propane and cistern water for our other need,raise chickens and have a garden,so we really respect your way of life man keep up the good work and God bless.

[@Meister1551]

You have an amazing life. Love watching all your videos. Wishing you Cerria, and Skeeter a very Happy New Year. Looking to watching more great videos in 23.

[@perrybrantley6188]

Enjoyed the video. Nice place to get away from things. Here in Louisiana, you have to have electricity for the air conditioner.

[@simonfreeman148]

Life's one big adventure. Love your no fuss straight to it attitude 🌲

[@mediejohnson5263]

Fantastic!!! I always look forward to your videos. Thank You, Thank You so much for sharing this with us. I can only imagine.👍 Take care, keep warm.

[@jimelliott8785]

I too wash dishes by hand. Have done all my life. So now I feel much closer to living in your wonderful log cabin in the north Minnesota woods.... 😃 But when I was very young grandparents had outside toilets, which I remember. I also remember chamber pots, which I think would freak you out even more. Thanks for the videos.

[@thomasgriffith2953]

Kyle your the man!! 👍 Happy New Year! "🔔"

[@outdooradventures1]

Great work my friend, keep the good work on and greeting from Sweden 🇸🇪

[@ryanslandandtreesvc454]

This is impressive young man, you seem like your still fairly young. I'm 41 and wanting to do this with my Dad. Looks like you got a jump start in really enjoying life! Congrats

[@wendysplace3867]

Love the cabin. Very imaginative. What I really can't imagine is temps so low. We had the low teens here in South Carolina. It was brutal.

[@tinyspirals7681]

I just came across your channel. How amazing and inspirational what you are doing!

[@pnowikow]

There's a lot to be said for the simple life

[@JMVideos7676]

Skeeter remains the master scene stealer.

[@ThePhilippineExperienceForLife]

Great tour Kyle, thanks for sharing ...

[@jeannemarcinek4575]

I like the outhouse it is so classic, and you do not need air freshener to make it smell nice. The cabin is so cute, and it looks so warm. So, you and Cierra and skeeter along with your, awesome cat and chickens have a very safe, warm, blessed New Year.

[@joshuadoyle4235]

Obsessed with Kyle's videos right now. Such a cool lifestyle. Love Cierra's chanel as well. It's great to see things from her POV. Keep it up!

[@andljoy]

We had outdoor toilets in the UK a lot later than most places in the west. I remember having outdoor toilets in school ( and i am a spring chicken that was born in 1986). It was much nicer than indoor toilets. In fact i know some people that still have outdoor toilets in urban areas , they have a bathroom indoors ofc but that outdoor toilet is still used and is honestly better.

[@SoItUp]

Our outhouse at the cabin was your typical build of an outhouse. But once you open that door to this classy, cool little out door bathroom you forgot you were not at home. Lol. It was light n bright and adorned with candles n lanterns. And never a smell because we used our wood stove and cook stove ashes to dump down the hole on a regular basis. There is something about wilderness cabin and amenities that just lets you breathe. Love your videos. Thanks for sharing.

[@38below39]

You did a real nice job , on your place

[@bboice08]

Great inspiration you are!! I am going to learn some carpentry myself through the college craft center where I live. The first class goes over safe use of all shop tools!! Wish me luck!!!

[@kopenhagenkid]

Awesome looking cabin Kyle

[@catfishm.1361]

I know it’s living off grid. As a kid my grandma had an outhouse but she still kept a chamber pot by the bed for nights, they have lids. It might be more convenient for Ciara even if she’s used to going out in all weather. To have one for her in the cabin. I know she’s a strong lady but still women need sometimes to be easier for us. Just a thought Kyle 🤔!? You should build a root cellar for more food storage at both cabins.👍🏻

[@gg349]

Have a Happy New Year Kyle and Sierra, all the best for 2023

[@amorales9613]

Very nice cabin. I love the simplicity and authenticity of the structure. I like the basic cabinets. The interior has a nice ambience to it. Looks roomy. I love it.

[@Kate-nd4rl]

"Most well-built outhouse you'll ever see on KZbin" That's quite a claim! Everyone seems so proud of their outhouse builds on here. 😄 #importantstuff I'm curious to hear more about your plans for the future with the cabin. Would love to see your skillsets, and hear about new skills you want to learn. Thanks for the tour!

[@Go4Corvette]

Excellent job 👏 👍 and has the potential for more. Good luck, Mike

[@sueyates3555]

You have done an outstanding job with the cabin and outhouse. Looks like you got everything planned out what you need to do when you have to do it like laundry cooking, ect. Good job Kyle and Cierra. Happy New Year to both of you.

[@tkskagen]

Bless you! 🥰

[@PrimitiveBuilder]

Yes Of course!!

[@tkskagen]

@@PrimitiveBuilder Well Done!

[@PrimitiveBuilder]

@@tkskagen Yes Thank you!!

[@renabarnett2238]

Kyle, have you thought about adapting your journal into a book? That would be awesome.

[@rosemerlos4477]

In this video it looks like your sweet dog needs snow shoes and maybe a sweater. I enjoy his playtime in the snow but pets get cold too. I know you love your pets. But sometimes we overlook things. Bless you and your fur babies.

[@mattsmith4420]

That's alright , I have family that live I northern Minnesota great video

[@bossaudio12]

Happy new years from Woodbury MN!

Great video!!!!hello Skeeter💖

Happy New Year from Nova Scotia 🇨🇦

[@Ca-zp2vc]

Love your channel but I'd really love to see a video every 7 days that are around 30 minutes long. If you could do it I bet your channel would jump to the next level! Keep up the good work!!!

[@robertnachtsheim3594]

Whenever their is a task at hand that I'm reluctant to takle my wife will say "What else are you doing"? That does the trick. Thanks for sharing. Happy New Year!

[@bmwlane8834]

Awesome! The outhouse without walls is great! All the ones org been in have lots of bugs and spiders! Love your channel.

[@Jazz1959]

From one Minnesotan to another. You did great Kyle. You live your life exactly the way you want. Your adventure in life is wonderful. Just think raising your children one day on your property. They will be lucky children. The cities right now are more dangerous.

[@alexs3447]

Your cabin is a great asset.A nice lifestyle

[@cabininthewoods7326]

Kyle you made a good point about going potty inside your house!

[@philipsommers5647]

💪🇺🇸. Good job Jim Bridger. Blessed 2023. Run a trapline and you be Living the Dream. 💪🇺🇸

[@alexdiamantopoulos7919]

Amazing life in the woods. I hope you will enjoy your rest of the winter with lots of wood and yummy food.

[@leiadelmar6092]

Happy 2023 from The Netherlands 🌷

[@bennyking572]

Those blue barrels are amazing, we use them at my work to send glassware all over the world. They are bomb roof

[@sgrvtl7183]

Nice spot, cabin and porch - good you have the roof extended for the porch. You have Youth on your side! ~

[@marianfrances4959]

Happy new year Kyle and Cierra! You know how to build those cabins, Kyle. Awesome year ahead! 👍🇨🇦😎🙏🐾🐾⭐🔥🌙

[@igorllll]

Amazing !!! Hi from Minneapolis.

[@johnwingate6755]

Nice place! Nothing like the solitude of the northwoods. Love the channel!

[@steemerxaxon1643]

Regardless of what ANYONE ON THE PLANET thinks You are living the ULTIMATE LIFE & you don't have a clue of how much I'd LOVE TO HAVE THAT TYPE OF LIFE!!! great video as ALWAYS thanks for sharing 👍

[@kateaye3506]

Having grown up in rural Australia in the 70s, outdoor dunnies were the norm. The only down side were insects, snakes and spiders. Other than that, it was much better.

[@fletcherhamilton3177]

Easy fix with a monthly blast or two of Mortein or Raid and then quickly closing the door. But not sure if that was an option in the seventies 😅

[@firstname6826]

Happy New Year, hope Sierra is healing up nicely, can't wait to see her out fish you again. 🐟

[@vickiwilliams6887]

Discovered your channel a while ago now and watched you build the big cabin. Really enjoy your videos and the weather extremes of your seasons. You are a very talented guy. Best wishes to you and Cierra for 2023 from Sydney, Australia 🌏

[@nickpalma2782]

Love the channel brother.

[@dannmurray1199]

Kyle you and your girl are so blessed to have this at such a young age....enjoy every second. Stay safe and healthy! 🌲🌲🌲⛄

[@mikedkc]

You’re an admirable man. Thanks for the tour. Really enjoy your channel.

[@lc5346]

What an awesome job you have done! I’m so happy to see younger people thinking and living this way! I would love to find a place like this to live! To old to build it myself 😂🤣

[@wisteria4981]

Ahhh, the simple pleasures in life ❤. Great Job 🎉

[@a.phillips6892]

Kyle, I absolutely love you and Cierras cabin. I was a Girl Scout from early age, so I very much love nature, animals, and living off grid. I agree with you about the potty situation, and going indoors😩 Thanks for sharing with us!

[@curtpropson8337]

Hi Kyle. I watched as you built it. You have it dialed in nicely. I'm in my off grid cabin now. I enjoy your videos very much. Take care. 👍

[@lynnebazyluk2226]

I'm very proud! We seem to think that everything in the past is the old way of doing things, but it's not always. Nice job!!! My suggestion for your laundry needs... look up the Wonder Wash by: The Laundry Alternative. I bought one several months ago, and it is pretty amazing. You just need water, soap and a cloths line. It's a money and time saver. Happy New Year!!!

[@lindagallaher5814]

I really enjoy your videos...my dad used to take us up to Canada every July to go fishing for walleye and northern pike. We usually rented a small house cabin...no electricity, had to use propane camp stove, and an Outhouse

[@Byerfilms]

Wow! Very special place. Great job! Love it 🥰

[@vivala9547]

We're in the Great Lakes Region too, near Lake Huron in Michigan. Your cabin is very nice and what a great setting having moose drop by ... pretty amazing!

[@tkskagen]

Any thoughts/considerations on building a "Root Cellar" at the Main Cabin for Meat and Vegetable storage? That would give you 2 to 3 episodes to show how to build one property within the "Frost-Zone".

[@dcranch4820]

Its great to have a set up like this. You can easily get away from the crazy todays world. You could easily survive off the land if needed. A great bug out spot or a year around home! Only concern i would have is when you get older everything becomes more difficult as ive found out! Im glad i have made enough wood up for several years. This allows me to add to my supply as i feel able to do so. Have you ever thought about digging a root cellar to keep things cool and a place to store food preps?

[@tresannrn8454]

Very inspirational! Thank you for sharing! Health care would be much different if we all lived more like this. “Respect” is a lost concept today, with you and Cierra being an exception.

[@katielockhart1]

Thank you for sharing! I love it! I think we should all go back to living this way. Easier.

[@joellenbruce8395]

Happy New Years!
